A garage nugget, 70s heavy boogie, art-punk krautrock free for all to wake up the third mind for some post-happy hour pre-late nite revelry. Check the mix for one corner of the musical map ... then stop by on 6/5 for booze + rocknroll jams. Deadheat Vol. 1 57 min., 79MB Vangelis [...]

May 22, 2008, 8:50pm 33/45
Shawn Phillips, Contribution (A&M 1970) Doesn't take much more than a strum a drum and a phaser to keep me happy. Unless it's a hot gtr lead .... Shawn Phillips - "Withered Roses" Shawn Phillips - "Screamer For Phlyses" Also I changed up my muxtape with mostly new stuff, 2007-08 (check the sidebar for updates, it's got its own spot).

Shep, Have U Gone Bald Inside Your Head? (Vanguard 1969) Got this record a few years ago in a stack my aunt handed over to me (thanks!), it was sealed and I wasn't confident it would be any good so for a while I just bugged out over the cover and figured I'd sell it later. Then I ran across it in the stacks at Academy in Williamsburg with a real-money pricetag -- not in the dollar bin -- so I decided to crack it open. Pretty nice! Especially the opening track, "Good Bill's [...]

Short notice but tonight's after-party for the Arthur Russell documentary Wild Combination should be a cool night of music over at Heathers ....

"Swans" - live @ Cake Shop NYC 5/8/08 Punkcast gets their footage up quick, I'm already reliving Thursday night. Indian Jewelry is serious business, a louder than loud strobe-lit, tribal pounding, ecstatic echo chamber of midnight music. Dig for more artifacts and take your second chance to catch them at Death By Audio on Tuesday. Lau Nau, Nukkuu (Locust 2008) Beautiful elusive folk music from Finland . [...]

Mike Theodore Orchestra, High on Mad Mountain (Westbound 1979) Big fan of Cosmic Wind here (and I'm not the only one ) but the heavy electronic groove on "Wonder Man" might trump it. Mike Theodore Orchestra - "Wonder Man"
May 11, 2008, 9:28pm 33/45
Osborne, Osborne (Spectral 2008) One of my most anticipated LPs of 2008 .... Osborne's "Afrika" 12" was on one of the first ever mixes I did for the site. Along with that track the Ruling EP rules so I'm psyched to hear the rest ... classic house music light-beams shining off a 2008 disco ball. He's also got a mix up at Beats in Space . Osborne - "Outta Sight" Osborne [...]

Fela Kuti - "Monkey Banana" [1976] (Comes from an album of the same name, also found on the b-side of a later pressing of Zombie ... magic stuff.)
Apr 25, 2008, 10:51am 33/45
It's a Beautiful Day, It's a Beautiful Day (Columbia 1969) Sweet psychedelic folk-rock fuzz from San Francisco , mostly in the mellow phaser vein of "White Bird" .... but they really kick it out on "Wasted Union Blues." It's a Beautiful Day - "Wasted Union Blues" It's a Beautiful Day - "White Bird"
Apr 22, 2008, 2:30pm 33/45
Catherine Ribeiro + Alpes, No. 2 (Festival 1970) Paris, part two ( part one below) ... Catherine Ribeiro + Alpes - "Sirba" Ashra, Blackouts (Virgin 1977) Synthesizer and delay-pedal blissouts by Manuel Gottsching . Ashra - "Don't Trust the Kids / Blackouts"

Sally Shapiro, Remix Romance Vol. 1 (Paper Bag 2008) For a while there, balearic disco overdose led me to a cold-turkey Lindstrom withdrawal phase. But damn this is pretty nice, almost gives some of those Studio remakes a run for the money. From Sally Shapiro's new remix record, also featuring Junior Boys, Juan Maclean and others ... Sally Shapiro - "Time to Let Go (Lindstrom Remix)"

Dollar-to-euro conversion makes record shopping in Paris kinda tough but I still found some great stuff. As soon as I dropped the needle on Dynastie Crisis I thought "oh man this is one of those Cherrystones type of records" .... and sure enough a track from another one of their albums ( "Faust '72" ) found its way from the Hidden Charms comp to the Ocean's 12 soundtrack. "Le Corbeau et Le Renard" is even better imo, and not just beacuse they're repping my last name (translated title means "the [...]

Schoolly D - "King of New York" [1990] How have I never seen this before??!! Dir. by Abel Ferrara .
Apr 8, 2008, 8:37pm 33/45
Dozen-member-plus traveling musical freak-show caravans seem to be falling from the sky at Vice right now. Dark Meat's southern-fried alt-rock rambling might need to marinate in my eardrums a little more before I fully embrace the flow ... but this new King Khan & the Shrines track is THE BUSINESS. Saw him in the Khan and BBQ Show incarnation last fall at Cake Shop in NYC and learned a brand noo dance: "Do the teabag!!" [...]

Hot show I won't be able to make it to -- Gui Boratto (live) and Jona (DJ) @ Fixed (Studio B) on Saturday 4/12. (Instead of drinking in the warm tones of "Arquipelago" and "Mala Strana" I'll be drinking absinthe in Mala Strana .) Gui Boratto - "Mr. Decay" (DEMF 2007) [...]
